Giuliani's Doctor Pronounces Him Healthy

By Michael ShearRudolph Giuliani's personal physician just released a statement pronouncing the former New York mayor, who was hospitalized last week for flu-like symptoms, in "very good health." The full statement follows the jump:

"I have been Rudy Giuliani's personal physician for more than seven years.

I was informed late Wednesday evening that Mr. Giuliani was suffering from a significant headache and fatigue. These symptoms can be described as possibly "flu-like."

As Mr. Giuliani's personal physician, I stayed in contact with the doctors at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis throughout the course of the evening. Because of the significant headache, it was important to have as much information as possible and err on the side of caution.

Mr. Giuliani underwent the following tests at Barnes-Jewish Hospital: CT-MRI of the brain, ultrasound of the carotid arteries, and spinal fluid evaluation. These tests all came back normal.

Furthermore, a PSA taken within the past month was negligible or undetectable, and routine laboratory tests were normal. Upon returning to New York City, Mr. Giuliani came to me for an examination and a further test, a transesophageal echocardiogram, which was normal. I confirmed there was no change in his health status.

Mr. Giuliani was not prescribed any medication and I recommended that he lighten his schedule only for a few days.

Well, I hope being president is easier than running for president. but I thing it's just different in that it's more stressful to keep explaining yourself to potential voters than to actually doing a job you believe in.
I am depending on him to get rid of the deficit. I can't see anyone else who is as capable of it than he is.
